Ran across ChaCha again over at TechCrunch, and finally gave it a try. Here’s a transcript of my human guided search:

You: k
joshua(79876): Please be more specific as to what you’re looking for on this topic.
You: I just need some funny business cartoons for a presentation

joshua(79876): does it matter of what business the cartoons are about

Then results started appearing in the right column:
I waited until four results showed up. to continue:

Status: Session ended.
I rated the guide as “GREAT” even though the results I got were under the heading “Health > Conditions and Diseases”
ChaCha is interesting, but dreadfully slow in a “I’ll just Google that real quick” world.
Anyway, kinda weird, but nice being #1.
